<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1459446, member: 32000&quot;]Knowing the history behind the coin may help. The history of how you came into possession of this coin I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>How did you obtain it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Was it from a dealer, online, junk bin find, swap meet vendor, inheritance, gift from a friend or relative?</p><p><br /></p><p>Tracing back the origins, even just a little, might give some indication of it&#039;s authenticity to a very small degree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing, how do you know it&#039;s not plated? I&#039;m not doubting your word, but unless there is solid proof there&#039;s no way of actually knowing that it is solid gold. Any unverified clue just muddies the waters. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know the math, but I&#039;m sure if you measure the thickness, diameter and weight there probably is a formula to determine whether indeed it is gold through and through. Fineness is a different matter altogether. I&#039;ve heard talk of a gravity test. That might work, but I don&#039;t know it&#039;s procedure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really curious to know. Fantasy or not it is a really interesting coin. I must add that I&#039;m somewhat jealous of your acquisition. He He...:devil:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
